I am going to be very honest here. Are you trying to "buy" money?

Betting like this will barely make any money if you win 2 of 3.

You have to win 3 games to win and the payout is terrible. The book of course is taking your money and thinking great we only need 1 of three to win and if we lose it is minimal.

Betting Texas -160 by itself provides better value....sure the payout is not so good, but the 3 team pay out is not a great prize either.

Yea doesn't make any sense to me either but good luck bud

The logic behind my pick is this:
First off I only did a parlay of the 3 teams I did not bet each one individually. A strategy I use in baseball is I will parlay 2 heavy favorites that I like a lot on the money line together. This typically pays out 1:1.4
It's a lot tougher to do in basketball bc the money lines tend to be really juiced up but occasionally I see a couple I like. I originally only had Texas and mizzou parlayed together. Then I saw the bulls game and knew it was more than likely going to be a winner so I threw it in which added roughly an additional $200 to my winnings off of the $500 I had risked.
A win is a win and thankfully I came out on top today
